This wonderful 10 minute animated cartoon appeared in the
1980s (not sure of exact date) on ITV. Matthew Smith produced and wrote the
original stories and this was superbly transferred from paper to film. Each
episode lasted a shade under 10 minutes and at least eleven episodes (I am told
that thirteen were actually made) were screened on what was Children's ITV.
What made this animated series even better was the narration by former Dr. Who
Jon Pertwee - who was a most unlikely narrator for this cartoon but having seen
the series, proved to be the best choice since he put on all the voices for
Greenie and Co.. The series began with Skeet (a young boy whose name was Sydney
Keets) receiving a visitor from space who he called "Greenie." Greenie arrived
along with his companion "Zoom Zoom" a small bright star like creature which
defied gravity. Unless they actually wanted to (by materialising), The Little
Green Man and Zoom Zoom were never seen by any other person except Skeets. The
Little Green Man had magical powers and whenever he wanted to use them, two
small radar like antennae would appear out of the side of his head and two
yellow beams would be fired at whatever object / person Greenie wanted to
influence. The Little Green Man knew very little about Earth and was here to
gather information. Quite often his data would be confused such as being
frightened of monkeys but not lions.

Three videos of The Little Green Man were released in the
1990s (two of which had the same episodes but different label).
